The Arizona Cardinals held tryouts for four linebackers on September 30, suggesting possible injury concerns within their roster. The players who participated included Kobe King, Marte Mapu, Chris Paul, and Jacob Roberts, all vying for inside linebacker roles. King was previously with the Minnesota Vikings but waived due to an injury, while Mapu has played three seasons with the New England Patriots. Paul was drafted by the LA Rams last year but spent the season on the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad. Roberts was undrafted in 2025 but signed with the Vikings during the offseason. This move indicates the Cardinals may need additional depth at linebacker following recent developments.
